What is a Glycolic Peel?
A glycolic peel is a type of chemical exfoliation using glycolic acid, derived from sugar cane. It penetrates deep into the skin, helping to remove dead skin cells, reduce the appearance of fine lines, and improve overall skin texture. This treatment is perfect for individuals looking for a non-invasive solution to achieve glowing, youthful skin.
Benefits of Glycolic Peel

- Treats Acne: Reduces oil production and clears clogged pores, helping to prevent acne breakouts.
- Improves Skin Texture: Smoother, softer, and more radiant skin is visible after just one treatment.

- Minimizes Pores: Tightens pores for a cleaner, refined complexion.
Who is it For?
The glycolic peel is suitable for all skin types. It is especially beneficial for those with:
- Sun damage
